I actually have a 100mm Esprit f5.5, a Bintel 200mm Newt f4 and a XLT 150mm refractor f5
I am using the XLT150 and Bintel 200mm for planets with barlow, and Moon. This is because I can set them up on tripod with clock drive and exposures are all video files - very short exposures, so no problem with tracking.
For DSO's using a few long exposures (ie 30 - 90sec so far) I am using my concreted-in pier with HEQ5 Pro and 100mm Esprit with corrector. Unguided at moment, but experimenting with Synguider 2 .
Would there be any advantage in putting the Bintel 200mm f4 on the pier for DSO?
My cameras are all ZWO 224 or 183 colour. No DSLR. Advantage being imaging time, I guess, or will I get better resolution (crisper photos) with the Esprit?
Maybe the 150mm refractor will be better than the Esprit 100 as it is bigger?
DECISIONS.....DECISIONS AAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH
